The University is more than an academic institution. It is a caring community of staff and students from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. Determined to meet the personal needs of its students, the University provides a range of excellent accommodations (guaranteed to first year students) and centres for social life, culture, and recreational activities, as well as medical, welfare, counselling and careers support for school-leavers, mature students, domestic and international students, and those with special requirements.
Our lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, and field studies are informed by both traditional and innovative methods of teaching and assessment. You may pursue degree schemes that offer either general or specialised study. While each scheme has a core of compulsory modules, you may choose from a number of optional modules to prepare you for a career path that best suits your interests and abilities.
